Strange how Russia advances with shovels

[comrade]

I remember when we used to be called bots when we say Ukraine wont win😂

[janmokry]

What coincidence they wrote it in english before CBS arrived. :-)

Weapons are not just the issue! Kiev has serious issues with personnel numbers! Volunteers have dried up and forced conscription is unpopular!

[alinaswesimutowe]

The station was used for logistics by the Ukrainian army so saidly a legitimate military target

[burdjija]

Ukrainian soldiers leaving graffiti in English in case CBS journalists pass through there.
I'm sure it can be seen all over the front.

[pauloalmeida]

Running away from the mighty shovels!!!

[renemartin]

Neither money nor weapons can change the fact that Zelensky has run out of cannon fodder.

[dragonstormdipro]

Train stations are a legitimate military target since forever

[Dumka]

Zelensky in 2022: We will take back all our land including Crimea.
Zelensky in 2024: Help Help we are losing without your support.

CBS News 2022 : Russia will be out of ammo within weeks
CBS News 2024 : Ukraine needs 350+ billion dollars in military aid or it will collapse due to ammo shortage
🤯

I dont think train station is civilian infrastructure, since soldiers and weapons that arriver at the front line was targeted.

[menya]

And the West had said in 2 years Russia has no ammo and only uses rusty weapons and has no skills and they only fight with shovels..so why hasn't Ukraine won yet??😅

[sarkarbroadband]

"Useless villages" are now turning into "Key Villages"
Looks like the tide is turning.

[pzubets]

Train station right at the frontline is, by all means, NOT a civilian infrastructure.

[trevorsutherland]

Russia advanced beyond the area where the Abrams was taken out by a Pirahna FPV drone. They very likely gonna capture it and take it to Patriot Park near Moscow.

[IbnSalleh]

It amazes me how Russian with shovel as main weapon can advance so much..😮

[GothPaoki]

I'm not a war specialist but i would guess a train station is the first target that would be targeted since basically everything from troops to supplies is moved through there. The way the reporters phrased it it seems like they're surprised.

[TruthpatriotZ]

Institute study of war: Russians can't exploit victory over avdiivka and needs rest
Russia: captures 4 more towns..
ISw bunch of clowns 🤡

[calebh]

Lol. There goes the media contradicting itself again "Ukraine is losing to the worst army in the world so we must send better weapons to defeat the worst army in the world"
